Hey all, I'm John and I found this site while researching my latest project. I'm looking to put a 5.3 into a '82 GT Mustang. This site looks like its got lots of great info on swaps and alot of knowledgeable people to help me out with any questions. I cant wait to get this build underway.

Thanks for the welcome. Been reading the conversion section for some time now. Also checking out the turbo forums for my turbo idea's. Here is my goal:

Build a budget turbo LS1 powered '82 Mustang capable of running 10's for about $10, 000

Well thats my plan so we will see what happens
